🚀 Quick Start

Easy Installation with Claude Code

The fastest way to install for Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport stdio deployhq --env DEPLOYHQ_EMAIL=your-email@example.com --env DEPLOYHQ_API_KEY=your-api-key --env DEPLOYHQ_ACCOUNT=your-account -- npx -y deployhq-mcp-server

Replace your-email@example.com, your-api-key, and your-account with your actual DeployHQ credentials.

Manual Configuration (Works for Both Claude Desktop and Claude Code)

The same configuration works for both clients. Copy from docs/claude-config.json and add your credentials.

For Claude Desktop:

Edit your config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Then restart Claude Desktop.

For Claude Code:

Add to your .claude.json file in your project directory, then exit and restart your Claude session (type exit or Ctrl+D, then run claude).

Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deployhq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "deployhq-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DEPLOYHQ_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
        "DEPLOYHQ_API_KEY": "your-password",
        "DEPLOYHQ_ACCOUNT": "your-account-name"
        // Optional: "LOG_LEVEL": "INFO"  (ERROR, INFO, or DEBUG)
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Only the 3 DeployHQ credentials are required. LOG_LEVEL is optional and defaults to INFO.

Start Using

Once configured, you can ask Claude to interact with DeployHQ:

• "List all my DeployHQ projects"
• "Show me the servers for project X"
• "Get the latest deployment status for project Y"
• "Create a new deployment for project Z"
• "Show me the deployment log for the latest deployment"
• "List my global environment variables"
• "Create a global config file template for database.yml"
• "Show my SSH keys"

💡 Common Usage Examples

Check Deployment Status

User: What's the status of my latest deployment for my-app?
Claude: [Uses list_deployments → get_deployment → shows status]

Debug Failed Deployment

User: Why did the last deployment fail for my-app?
Claude: [Uses list_deployments → get_deployment_log → analyzes log]

Deploy Latest Changes

User: Deploy the latest changes to production for my-app
Claude: [Uses list_servers → list_deployments → create_deployment with use_latest]

Complete Workflow Example

User: I want to deploy my-app to production with the latest changes

Claude will:
1. Use list_projects to find "my-app"
2. Use list_servers to find production server UUID
3. Use list_deployments with use_latest to get last revision
4. Use create_deployment to queue deployment
5. Use get_deployment to show status
6. Use get_deployment_log if anything fails
